enSerenity's 2016 holiday wish listhttp://www.imore.com/serenitys-2016-holiday-wish-list
The gifts — technology and otherwise — that I'm coveting this holiday season.
2016 has been a year of big purchases for me — new iPad, new iPhone, new Mac, new car — but despite everything I've picked up this year, there's still plenty on my wish list. (Ah, the life of a tech geek: always something new to covet.)
So whether you're looking to shop for me (hi, mum), or simply looking for inspiration for the fellow tech roller derby geek in your life, here are some of the items that absolutely captivated me this year.
Libratone Q Adapt On Ear
While I love my Bose QC35 noise-cancelling headphones for traveling, they can be a bit bulky for everyday café travel; as such, I've been looking for an in-between option to toss in smaller bags when I want to go write for a few hours. Lucky for me, I got to test Libratone's new Q Adapt On Ear noise-cancelling headphones over the last few weeks, and they're exactly what I've been looking for: a lightweight on-ear option that soun...Thu, 08 Dec 2016 19:23:23 +0000Serenity Caldwell40416 at http://www.imore.com<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2014/12/holiday-returns-hero.jpg?itok=Z2mJP59M" width="1600" height="1200" alt="" class="image-xlarge aligncenter" /></p>
<p class="intro">The gifts — technology and otherwise — that I'm coveting this holiday season.</p>
<p>2016 has been a year of big purchases for me — new iPad, new iPhone, new Mac, new car — but despite everything I've picked up this year, there's still plenty on my wish list. (Ah, the life of a tech geek: always something new to covet.)</p>
<p>So whether you're looking to shop for me (hi, mum), or simply looking for inspiration for the fellow tech roller derby geek in your life, here are some of the items that absolutely captivated me this year.</p>
<h2>Libratone Q Adapt On Ear</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/medium/public/field/image/2016/12/libratone-q-on-eargif.gif?itok=msT_j11c" width="401" height="254" alt="" class="image-medium alignright" /></p>
<p>While I love my <a href="/i-am-never-taking-boses-qc-35-noise-cancelling-wireless-headphones">Bose QC35</a> noise-cancelling headphones for traveling, they can be a bit bulky for everyday café travel; as such, I've been looking for an in-between option to toss in smaller bags when I want to go write for a few hours. Lucky for me, I got to test Libratone's new Q Adapt On Ear noise-cancelling headphones over the last few weeks, and they're exactly what I've been looking for: a lightweight on-ear option that sounds great, offers varying levels of noise-cancellation, and even lets you quickly disable all sound and noise-cancellation with a quick tap over the right earphone.</p>
<p>Do I <em>need</em> another pair of wireless, noise-cancelling earphones? Probably not; my Bose headphones are still amazing, even if they are a bit bulky. But that's what wish lists are for, right?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.libratone.com/us/products/q-adapt-on-ear/q-adapt-on-ear-headphones" title="" class="cta shop">$199 from Libratone</a></p>
<h2>Fermata Headphone Charging Stand</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/11/fermata-stand-hero-real.jpg?itok=lO5C_maK" width="1600" height="1066" alt="" class="image-medium alignright" /></p>
<p>I <a href="/charge-your-bluetooth-headphones-and-make-them-look-great-twelve-souths-fermata-stand">reviewed Twelve South's headphone stand and charger</a> back in November, and it's still in my thoughts and on my wish list. The $80 stand may have a hefty price tag, but it makes up for it by being wonderfully constructed and offering an easy charging experience for your Bluetooth headphones and an additional device.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.twelvesouth.com/product/fermata" title="" class="cta shop">$79.99 from Twelve South</a></p>
<h2>Pad &amp; Quill Messenger Bag</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/11/pad-and-quill-messenger-bag.jpg?itok=KsNrBQLH" width="1280" height="720" alt="" class="image-medium alignright" /></p>
<p>I've collected a large assortment of pretty wonderful laptop bags over the years, but I keep coming back to Pad and Quill's gorgeous Messenger bag — the charcoal gray canvas and whiskey brown leather flip-top bag has P&amp;Q's signature handmade look and quality construction, all while offering a variety of pockets, nooks, and crannies to hide away cables, iPads, and more. Between the Messenger and the company's <a href="/e?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shareasale.com%2Fr.cfm%3Fb%3D695070%26m%3D54540%26U%3D885495%26afftrack%3DUUimUdUnU40416%26urllink%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.padandquill.com%252Fleather-bags%252Froll-top-leather-backpack.html&amp;token=KUhn4_up">Roll Top Leather Backpack</a>, I've been spending a lot of time staring at Pad and Quill's website this year.</p>

<h2>Apple 87W USB-C Power Adapter</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/11/macbook-pro-dongles-leaves.jpg?itok=ja9xpHzC" width="1600" height="1200" alt="" class="image-medium alignright" /></p>
<p>This is a simple gift, but a practical one: After picking up a new MacBook Pro, I no longer have an assortment of compatible chargers hidden in my house and travel bags. And as much as I appreciate the MacBook Pro's more powerful battery, it's not <em>quite</em> enough to last me a full day at the café. Bring on the secondary charger!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MNF82LL/A/87w-usb-c-power-adapter" title="" class="cta shop">$79 from Apple</a></p>

<h2>Tile Mate Bluetooth Tracker</h2>

<p>I bought a set of Tiles last year right before Christmastime, and they've spent the intervening eleven months saving my sanity time and time again by helping me quickly locate my keys, wallet, gear bag, and more. I've been meaning to pick up more to outfit the rest of my traveling bags, but heck — they'd make a pretty good stocking stuffer, too.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Mate-Finder-Phone-4-pack/dp/B01L3VEC94/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40416" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">$69.95 for a four-pack from Amazon</a></p>

<p>Until Apple presumably releases a Siri Home Hub of its own, Alexa is my voice assistant of choice — and I wouldn't mind having another Echo Dot living in my bedroom for evening music selections, news reports, and info about the weather.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DFKC2SO/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40416" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">$49.99 from Amazon</a></p>

<h2>WaterField Designs Finn Wallet</h2>

<p>I actually bought the Finn Wallet last year for my iPhone 6s Plus, but between its new RFID-blocking capabilities and red finish, it might be time for an upgrade. I love the wallet for its ability to comfortably fit (and protect) a caseless iPhone 7 Plus, but I've also used it to hold passports, money, extra receipts, and an iPhone battery charger.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.sfbags.com/collections/2016-give-guide-under-99/products/iphone-finn-wallet" title="" class="cta shop">$69 from Waterfield Designs</a></p>

<p>I drink enough tea to fuel a small army, but since moving to my new house, I've been without an automatic tea-maker. I've had my eye on this Breville option for the last year, which lets you program boiling water for tea at a variety of temperatures, but have yet to slide it off my Amazon wish list and into my cart. Maybe this year...</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DYERBK/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40416" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">$129.95 from Amazon</a></p>

<p>When not skating or writing, my fiancé and I like to experiment in the kitchen. I've been obsessed with the Smitten Kitchen blog since a friend referred me a few years ago, and Deb Perelman's cookbook has been on my wish list about as long. Just look at the cheese and tomato sandwich on the cover! How can you not want to eat everything inside those pages?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/030759565X/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40416" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">$21.49 from Amazon</a></p>

<p>Last but certainly not least, a wish list item from Montréal's local skate shop and apparel boutique, Low Life — I've got a set of new <a href="https://www.roller.riedellskates.com/">Riedell skates</a> on my "to buy" list next year, but in the meantime, I've had my eye on a number of the company's apparel options for winter warmth, including this awesome ribbed toque. Low Life's co-founder was rocking it at <a href="http://www.teamcanadarollerderby.com">Team Canada</a> practice all last weekend, and it looks just as cozy in person as it does on the Low Life website.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.lowlifemtl.com/products/lowlife-ribbed-toque" title="" class="cta shop">$15 from Low Life MTL</a></p>

Like running? Want a Fitbit? Choose the best Fitbit for runners!
All devices in the Fitbit family can track steps, but if you're a serious runner, you might be looking for a little bit of detail. With so many Fitbit models, each with slight variations on their available features, it can be tough to figure out which is the right one to go with if you're an active runner.
There are three main features runners should consider when deciding on a Fitbit model: durability, heart rate monitoring, and GPS tracking. Choose the right Fitbit to match the type of runner you are!
Flex 2 - Best Fitbit for runners on a budget
If you're an avid runner and are trying to figure out whether or not a Fitbit is going to be helpful with your exercise routine, there's no need to blow all your cash on a fitness tracker until you know you're actually going to use it.

<p>If you're an avid runner and are trying to figure out whether or not a Fitbit is going to be helpful with your exercise routine, there's no need to blow all your cash on a fitness tracker until you know you're actually going to use it.</p>

Not only has the company improved every aspect of the popular fitness tool, including making it swim-proof and more comfortable to wear, but the Flex 2 automatically tracks workouts and sleep, uploading it to the excellent iOS app behind the scenes every few hours.</p>
<p>At just under $100, the Fitbit Flex 2 is a great value and an excellent product, and if you're looking to take it to the next level, you can even accessorize the module by putting it in a bangle or necklace.</p>

<h2>Charge 2 - Best Fitbit with a Heart Rate Monitor</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2016/08/fitbit-charge2-flex2-15.jpg?itok=0heg_gT6" width="800" height="600" alt="" class="image-large_wm_brw aligncenter image-large" /></p>
<p>While many Fitbit models offer you an estimate for the amount of calories you burn in a day, Fitbit models with a built-in heart rate monitor will give you the most accurate results by using your heart rate with your current activity to estimate the amount of calories you're burning.</p>
<p>The <a href="/e?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shareasale.com%2Fr.cfm%3Fb%3D286239%26m%3D31379%26U%3D885495%26afftrack%3DUUimUdUnU36497%26urllink%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.fitbit.com%252Fchargehr&amp;token=yN3uXo8b" title="" rel="nofollow">Fitbit Charge 2</a> is a great choice for runners who want the benefits that come with a heart rate monitor. This device has 5-day battery thanks to its small LED screen, which can display steps and distance traveled, calories burned, heart rate, and more. The Charge 2 is not only a better product than its predecessor, the Charge HR, but it can automatically track exercise and upload heart rate in real time to the excellent iOS app.</p>
<p>Having a HR monitor lets you track whether your heart rate is in the right zone for fat burning or improved cardiovascular health, so you can adjust the intensity of a run depending on your goals.</p>
<p>The Fitbit Charge 2 has an excellent suite of features, including Fitbit's PurePulse heart rate technology, providing you key info that will be important to you when making decisions about your running length and intensity. There's also free FitStar workouts included and a new mindfulness exercise that can walk you through how to breathe properly throughout the day.</p>
<p>Finally, if you decide to bring your phone with you on a run, the Charge 2 can convey calls and texts right to your wrist, so you don't need to take out your phone to see who's trying to get in touch!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Charge-Heart-Fitness-Wristband/dp/B01K9S24EM/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1481154139&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=charge+2&amp;tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU36497" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<h2>Surge - Best Fitbit with a GPS</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2016/06/fitbit-surge-gps-found.jpg?itok=SEIsbKYe" width="800" height="600" alt="" class="image-large_wm_brw aligncenter image-large" /></p>
<p>If you want to track as much information as possible about your run, then the <a href="/e?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shareasale.com%2Fr.cfm%3Fb%3D286239%26m%3D31379%26U%3D885495%26afftrack%3DUUimUdUnU36497%26urllink%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.fitbit.com%252Fsurge&amp;token=GzrmqI-5" title="" rel="nofollow">Fitbit Surge</a> is the way to go.</p>
<p>This is currently the most expensive Fitbit option, but it is the only device in the product line with a built-in GPS (the Charge 2 and Blaze can sync to your phone's GPS, but do not stand alone). The GPS will not only tell you the distance you've traveled in a day, but will also map your running route as you go. This device also offers detailed running info showing you your pace, allowing you to flag changes in your speed during a run so you can measure progress over time and challenge yourself during a run by adding intervals.</p>
<p>With the data collected on the Fitbit Surge, you can monitor your progress over time through the Fitbit dashboard and keep adjusting your intensity, intervals, and routes, ensuring you're always pushing yourself to a higher level of fitness.</p>
<p>Even though this Fitbit has a large screen, it's designed for active lifestyles, so its rugged screen and rubberized strap don't require babying. Just strap it on your wrist and go!</p>
<p>While the Fitbit Surge is the most expensive of your Fitbit choices, it provides the most information and contains many features that are beneficial for runners.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Surge-Fitness-Superwatch-Black/dp/B00N2BWF6Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1455288760&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=Fitbit+Surge&amp;m2k=d_im&amp;m1k=d_im&amp;tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU36497" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>
<h2>The Running Tally</h2>
<p>All Fitbits track your step count, but if you run regularly as part of your fitness routine, you're probably going to want more than just basic fitness information.</p>
<p>Having a good idea of what your running goals are can help you decide which Fitbit features are most important. By choosing the right device, you can have more fun with your runs as you watch your fitness progress improve!</p>

Want to join the cord-cutting revolution? Here are some services you ought to read up on!
Cutting the cord is becoming more commonplace every year. While popular streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu have done an excellent job of leading the charge, some people would love to cut the cord but still enjoy the same TV programming their cable provided provides them.
Streaming TV Services are a blend of traditional cable and streaming services that allow you to access not only on-demand but also live TV channels, so you don't have to miss out on your favorite shows.

<h2>Playstation Vue</h2>
<p>Available for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles across the U.S., PlayStation Vue lets you access some of the most popular networks on television for a monthly subscription fee.</p>
<p>They have four different subscription packages, that range from $39.99 to 79.99 a month, meaning you should be able to find the package that is right for you. All of the packages come with a slew of channels such as AMC, Cartoon Network, CNN, Discovery, Disney Channel, E!, ESPN, ESPN2, Food Network, Fox News Channel, Syfy, USA, and more! Plus, you can add individual premium channels to any package for an additional monthly cost.</p>
<p>PlayStation Vue also allows you to record live TV so you can watch it later, just like a DVR, and even has an explore mode to give you suggestions of what to watch when you can't decide.</p>

<p><a name="sling" id="sling"></a></p>
<h2>Sling TV</h2>
<p>The first thing that may excite you about Sling TV is its price of $20 per month, but there is more to life than just its price tag.</p>
<p>Sling TV is accessible through an app for Android, iOS, Roku, and Apple TV, so chances are you don't have to invest in a device to enjoy the service. Plus it comes with some great channels which include AMC, TNT, ESPN, CNN, History, HDTV and the Disney Channel, so you're bound to find something to keep you entertained.</p>
<p>Sling TV does have a few drawbacks. There is no DVR, so most channels don't let you control playback, and right now you can only stream to three screens at a time, so if you are a family with lots of TVs on all the time that could be problematic.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.sling.com/" title="" class="cta shop">See at Sling TV</a></p>
<h2>DirectTV NOW</h2>
<p>DirectTV NOW certainly sounds like an impressive deal; you get 100 channels for $35 a month, which is the most channels for the lowest price currently on the market for service like this.</p>
<p>You can even get local shows depending on where you live. Certain regional sports programs, as well as regional divisions of networks like NBC, are available in the major cities plus you can add premium channel like HBO and Showtime for only an extra $5 per month.</p>

<h2>OTA Antennas</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/12/ota-antenna-press-image.jpg?itok=zFSO9ZH2" width="1400" height="1400" alt="" class="image-xlarge aligncenter lightbox right" /></p>
<p>If you or someone you know is looking to cut out the cable bill from their budget, but still enjoys just throwing on the TV and vegging out without the <em>hassle</em> of finding something new to watch on Netflix (right?), an over-the-air (OTA) antenna can be a great compromise. But before you consider whether to buy an OTA antenna, you'll want to know what channels are available in your area and what type of antenna you'll need to draw them in. This TV signal locator from <a href="http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&amp;Itemid=29">TVFools.com</a> will let you know what signals are available from you or your giftee's address, and from there let you determine whether you should be getting an indoor or outdoor antenna.</p>
<p>An OTA antenna can be hooked up straight to a TV in your house to watch live TV. A couple of the other items on this list require a OTA antenna — HDHomeRun Connect and TiVo Roamio. If either of those boxes tickles your fancy, you'll need one to draw in the signal. Depending on what channels are available in your area, you'll need either an indoor or outdoor digital antenna. The antenna we've recommended here is designed for urban areas, and can be set up indoors or outdoors. Again, the channels you'll get will be dependant on a number of variables, so the price of this antenna makes it great for testing purposes.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Frequency-Cutter-Outdoor-Digital-Antenna/dp/B00F4JR3LQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;linkId=b12d8384770e5d97320b4aa67e6f7ede&amp;tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40388" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>
<p><a name="hdhomerun" id="hdhomerun"></a></p>
<h2>HDHomeRun Connect</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/12/hdhomerun-connect-press-image.jpg?itok=KII1LOTJ" width="1000" height="1000" alt="" class="image-xlarge aligncenter lightbox right" /></p>
<p>The HDHomeRun Connect is a HDTV broadcast tuner that, working in conjunction with an OTA antenna, lets you draw in the available HDTV channels broadcasting in your area. Set up is easy — simply connect your HDHomeRun box to power, the antenna, and your router, then <a href="https://www.silicondust.com/support/downloads/">install the software</a> on your computer. From there, you're able to watch live TV from the available channels shows on any DLNA-compatible device connected to your Wi-Fi network, whether that be a smart TV, or a phone or tablet running the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/instatv-pro/id704841894?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=UUimUdUnU40388" title="" rel="nofollow">HDHomeRun DVR app</a>.</p>
<p>But that's not all. What makes the HDHomeRun a <em>real</em> home run (I'm sorry) is it's beta compatibility with Plex. All your recorded shows can be stored on your Plex server and then streamed to all your other devices thanks to how widely supported the Plex platform has become.</p>

<h2>TiVo Roamio</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/12/tivo-roamio-press-image.jpg?itok=r3p3bkt7" width="1500" height="1500" alt="" class="image-xlarge aligncenter lightbox right" /></p>
<p>TiVo… Now that's a name you probably haven't heard in a long time. But the Roamio is certainly worth looking into if you're cutting a cord and considering an OTA antenna. The Roamio comes with 1TB of space to record all your favorite shows as well as built-in integration with Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video, Hulu and more.</p>
<p>It's a TiVo, so you'll be able to pause and rewind TV live, as well as use SkipMode to skip over the commercials in your recorded content, or use QuickMode to watch your shows 33% faster with no audio distortion, meaning you can binge watch your favorite shows in less time.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/TiVo-Roamio-OTA-DVR-Compatible/dp/B01DR4T73Q?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40388" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<p>Once you get your first Chromecast, you quickly learn that you can never have too many Chromecasts. It's such a versatile little device that lets you stream Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video, Hulu, YouTube, HBO Now… <a href="/best-chromecast-apps-iphone-and-ipad">There's a ton of great iOS apps available with Chromecast compatibility</a>.</p>
<p>This year, Google introduced the Chromecast Ultra, which supports 4K TVs if you already have one or are planning on upgrading. If not, the Chromecast from 2015 is still a completely capable little device, and you really can't beat the value here. And like I said, once you've got a Chromecast on one of your TV's, you're going to want to have one for every TV in the house.</p>

<p>If you're buying for a cordcutter who also happens to a huge Apple fan, and they <em>don't</em> have an Apple TV, you can give them the gift of integrating their TV into their Apple ecosystem.</p>
<p>From iMore's full review:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The fourth generation Apple TV was both too long in coming and too quick out the door. Frustratingly rough edges abound. Yet it manages to deliver something truly remarkable: A solid experience out of the box, and an amazing foundation for the future. If you want iTunes, Netflix, and more on your television, Siri voice control and full-on apps, you want the new Apple TV.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Apple TV is a great option, but won't be idea for those looking for 4K support, or for people who rely on Amazon Prime for media.</p>

<h2>Gift memberships to streaming services</h2>
<p>Netflix. Amazon Prime. Hulu.</p>
<p>These are the services that are largely replacing cable TV for an ever-growing number of consumers. Whether or not your loved one already has one of these services, you can cover a few months of their favorite streaming service for a gift that keeps giving throughout the year.</p>
<p>Your best value is absolutely a year's worth of Amazon Prime. Not only do they get access to both Amazon's music and video services, they also get all the benefits of being an Amazon Prime including next-day delivery on a number of products.</p>
<p>Both Netflix and Amazon Prime offer electronic gift cards for their services, but you should also be able to find them at a most major retailers. Hulu currently doesn't offer electronic gift cards, but you should find physical Hulu gift cards at retailers such as Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.</p>

<p>You don't name a pair of earbuds "Epic2" and then have it be anything but. JLab's wireless earbuds combine bombastic sound with sweat-proof durability that'll last you throughout the toughest workouts. It's no wonder these earbuds are the <a href="http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wireless-exercise-headphones/">Wirecutter's top pick</a>.</p>
<p>In the box, you get a hard travel case, all the silicone gel tips you could possibly need, in different sizes, and a USB to Micro-USB charging cable.</p>
<p>You can control your music with the in-line switch, and you have your choice of black, blue, or teal.</p>

<p>Ask someone the first name that comes to mind when they think of top-notch audio, and they'll likely say Bose. Bose has built a reputation on superior sound quality, no matter the device, and its foray into the realm of sporty headphones is welcome and wonderful.</p>
<p>The SoundSport Wireless earbuds are sweat- and weather-resistant, and the gel tips are wholly designed with comfort and stability in mind. Though battery life isn't the greatest in these (about 6 hours on a single charge), they still pack an aural wallop and the mic and music controls are handy.</p>
<p>Comes in Aqua, black, Citron, and Power Red, which has a heart monitor.</p>

<p>If minimalism and comfort are what you're after in a pair of sport earbuds, then the Plantronics BackBeat Fit is for you. Instead of a flimsy headphone cable, these feature a sturdier rubber connection that keeps them secure on your head.</p>
<p>The play controls are on the earbuds themselves, with a button for play/pause/skip and a button to answer and end calls. You get 8 hours of playtime, as well as your choice of blue, black, green, or red.</p>

<p>If you're on a bit of a budget and you also happen to need some headphones that stay more securely in place than most, then check out TaoTronics' wireless Bluetooth headphone. They feature a piece that wraps around most of your ear, with a snug-fitting earpiece that ensures stability while you run, jump, or whatever it is you do to work out (we won't judge).</p>
<p>You get up to 8 hours of playtime, great audio, noise cancellation, and a price that's hard to beat in this class (about $30).</p>

<p>It's yer bud, Yurbuds, with some neat sport earbuds that actually twist into place so that they don't fall out of your ears once you start to sweat. They may look like the headphones you get on a plane, but they're sweat- and weather-resistant, feature a button for playback control, a mic for calls, and they let in ambient noise so that you can remain aware at all times.</p>
<p>They come in aqua, black, pink, purple, and red/black. These are a great option if you prefer a wired pair of earbuds.</p>

What's the best battery bank for iPhone? Here are our favorites!
Having a way to charge your iPhone on the go is paramount nowadays, especially since heavy use — looking at you Facebook, Snapchat, and Pokémon Go! — can kill your battery before day's end. When that happens, and then no outlet in site, a battery pack will be your best friend. But which battery pack? Here are our favorites!
TravelCard 1,500mAh
RAVPower Ace 22,000mAh
KMASHI 10,000mAh
Aukey 16,000mAh
Anker Astro E1 5,200mAh
Aibocn 10,000mAh
Anker PowerCore 20,100mAh
TravelCard 1,500mAh
The Wirecutter's favorite charger is also one of ours, especially since you can buy one made specifically for iPhone, with a built-in Lightning cable.
1,500mAh won't give you a full charge for your iPhone, but it will easily help you make it to the end of the day and then some. What more can you expect from a charger that's roughly the length and width of a credit card?

<h2>RAVPower Ace 22,000mAh</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/10/iphone-ravpower-ace-power-bank-01.jpg?itok=D8KDr6Hm" width="1000" height="1000" alt="RAVPower" class="image-xlarge aligncenter right lightbox" /></p>
<p>If you need a lot more power — as in you might not see a power outlet for a couple days — then the RAVPower Ace series has you more than covered. 22,000mAh is enough to charge your iPhone at least six times, if not more.</p>
<p>These power banks are relatively compact, at about 6.5 inches long, 3 inches wide, and about an inch thick, so still absolutely portable and convenient. The shell is fire-resistant, made of the same material Mercedes and BMW use in their vehicles, so you won't have any <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-7">Galaxy Note 7 episodes</a>. There are also three ports, so you can charge up to three devices simultaneously.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Portable-RAVPower-22000mAh-Li-polymer-Smartphones/dp/B01G1XH46M?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40090" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<h2>KMASHI 10,000mAh</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/10/iphone-kmashi-power-bank-01.jpg?itok=9ufw161i" width="936" height="528" alt="KMASHI" class="image-xlarge aligncenter right lightbox" /></p>
<p>If you want a power bank that's about the size of a chocolate bar, but you still need to charge your iPhone a couple times with it, KMASHI's 10,000mAh bank should do the trick.</p>
<p>Intelligent power management means overcurrent, overcharge, and overvoltage protection, so you won't fry your iPhone in case something goes wrong, and you won't fry the power bank while charging it. LED indicators let you know when the bank is full and when it's time to recharge, so you'll know roughly how long you have before you need to plug in.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/KMASHI-10000mAh-External-Battery-Portable/dp/B00JM59JPG/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40090" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<h2>Aukey 16,000mAh</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/10/iphone-aukey-power-bank-01.jpg?itok=g0Cvo-aQ" width="1498" height="909" alt="Aukey" class="image-xlarge aligncenter right lightbox" /></p>
<p>Aukey's battery bank is on the bigger side for a bank with a 16,000mAh battery, but what it lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in performance. You'll be able to charge your iPhone around 4 times, and even charge a 9.7-inch iPad Pro once.</p>
<p>The built-in flashlight is extra handy if you're plugging in your iPhone in the dark or if your iPhone is dead and you need a little light. There are built-in safeguards to protect your iPhone from a power surge and overheating, and you get a 2-year warranty should anything go wrong with the bank.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/16000mAh-Universal-Portable-Charger-Qualcomm/dp/B018I5H9BQ/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40090" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<h2>Anker Astro E1 5,200mAh</h2>

<p>Anker makes phenomenal charging products. Astro E1 is an excellent candy bar-sized option that's perfect for heading out to play Pokémon Go, or just for charging your iPhone at your desk without taking up any space.</p>
<p>5,200mAh should charge your iPhone about twice, so it's even a great travel option if you know you'll be out and about a lot without much time to stick it in the wall.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-bar-Sized-Portable-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B00P7N0320/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40090" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<h2>Aibocn 10,000mAh</h2>

<p>Sure, the company name is impossible to pronounce, but Aibocn's 10,000mAh power bank doesn't have time for your sputtering — it's too busy charging up your iPhone and stealing your car. Well, the former at least.</p>
<p>It looks like something a Stormtrooper would carry and features a backup flashlight in case you're caught in the dark or need help aiming your blaster (see what I did there?).</p>
<p>Two USB ports lets you charge two devices simultaneously, and Aibocn's 1-year warranty will keep you backed up and hassle-free. These also start around $11, so you've no reason note to grab one.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Aibocn-External-Battery-Flashlight-Smartphones/dp/B00VWV8LD4/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40090" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<h2>Anker PowerCore 20,100mAh</h2>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2016/10/iphone-anker-powercore-power-bank-01.jpg?itok=KUwBW6Cr" width="414" height="179" alt="Anker PowerCore" class="image-xlarge aligncenter right lightbox" /></p>
<p>Yes, another Anker, but this one has 20,100mAh of PowerCore — able to charge your iPhone about five times and all in a package about the size of your iPhone.</p>
<p>Dual USB ports let you charge two devices at the same time, making this perfect for everyday use, especially if you like to rock your iPhone and iPad all day long.</p>
<p>As usual, you get Anker's 18-month warranty, and your device is protected in the event of overcurrent, overcharge, or overvoltage.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40090" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<h2>Ringke Extreme Lightweight Cover</h2>

<p>Thin, super lightweight, and designed to withstand falls and drops, the Ringke Extreme Lightweight Cover is a great minimalist case for your iPhone 7.</p>
<p>The Ringke cover is designed with a raised bezel to protect the screen of your iPhone 7 if you lay it down flat, while the entire case is certified Military-grade drop-tested despite its slim design. The cover is also <em>incredibly thin</em>, adding just 1.3mm to the overall bulk of your iPhone.</p>
<p>While the Ringke comes in a classic, clear style, it also comes in a few variations of the transparent design, too, including a tinted rose gold crystal color for your rose gold iPhone 7, and a smoke black tint for your black or jet black iPhones 7.</p>

<p>With the Peel on your iPhone 7, your new gadget may feel naked and exposed, but it's actually being protected from dirt, scratches, and more with the help of this super-ultra-mega-thin case!</p>
<p>The Peel is a minimalistic case with a modern design that's meant to fit your iPhone 7 like a second skin. At just 0.35mm, the case secures firmly to your iPhone with an additional little bezel around your camera to prevent scratching your lens.</p>
<p>While the Peel is not the most protective case by any means, it does have its protective factors.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I have been through … a bunch of cases and Peel has by far been the best. I have dropped my phone a ton [without a] shattered or scratched screen." – Marc Hemeon, Oakley, Youtube, Google &amp; HODINKEE designer.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Peel comes in four different colors that are designed to match your new iPhone 7 perfectly, including rose gold, gold, silver, and black.</p>

<p>The simplistic design of a clear case with a big, fun pop of color: Be sure keep the i-BlasonClear Halo Series in mind as you peruse your thin case options!</p>
<p>The i-Blason is made with a scratch-resistant material and shock-absorbing bumpers to protect your iPhone 7. The case also comes with a raised bezel to save your screen from accidental scratches, scrapes, or spills.</p>
<p>While the majority of the Halo Series cases are designed to match your iPhone 7 color-wise, there is an option for a bright blue border (that looks great with your black or jet black iPhone 7)!</p>

Hating on the hump is easy, getting to the bottom of Apple's battery case for iPhone takes a full review.
Update: Apple has just released a new Product (RED) version of the Smart Battery Case to benefit World AIDS Day. Check out the new pictures below!
The Smart Battery Case, originally introduced last year for the 4.7-inch iPhone 6s and iPhone 6, now supports the new iPhone 7. At launch it generated an incredible amount of internet noise. Much of it was reactionary and superficial. The "hump" on the back overshadowed the very clever engineering going on, outside and in.

<h2>Smart Battery Case <em>hump</em></h2>
<p>Because the Smart Battery Case is essentially Apple's silicone case for iPhone with a power pack embedded in the back, it looks like it has a "hump" or "bump". An iPod on top of the iPhone. Yoda on Luke's back. Whatever you want to call it, it's there and it's impossible to ignore.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-back-hero.jpg?itok=706JD0yg" width="1600" height="1200" alt="" class="image-xlarge_wm_blw aligncenter image-xlarge" /></p>
<p>Objectively the design is fine. It's symmetrical, impeccably moulded, and enables significant functionality. Subjectively, it's awkward-looking. There's an unabashed minimalism to it that's not ugly per se, because it's not lopsided or ostentatious, but that's severely lacking in the elegant curves and lines we've come to expect from Apple.</p>
<p>And that's made for some fascinating reactions.</p>
<p>Apple is routinely criticized for putting form ahead of function. In this case, though, putting function ahead of form has resulted in some of the loudest bouts of criticism in recent history.</p>
<p>The "hump" is the result of hard choices made during the design process. By not running the battery all the way along the back, and by not using rigid material to cover it, Apple can hide a hinge beneath the silicone. That hinge lets the top part of the case bend backwards so you can slide your iPhone in and then slip the case back over it.</p>
<p>It provides an alternative to the two-piece cases that require you to remove the top or back in order to put them on. They're typically fussier and more difficult to put on, and the extra parts are susceptible to damage or loss. So, even though the Smart Battery Case is less pleasing to the eye, the resulting one-piece design is a huge win.</p>
<p>Likewise the reception. With other cases, the material can sometimes cause cellular signal to drop. Manufacturers have done a lot to mitigate that over the years, but in areas that already have bad reception, it can still be a problem.</p>
<p>Because of the Smart Battery Case's design, the antenna bands are essentially covered only by thin silicone portion of the case. Moreover, Apple has added coupled passive antennas to further maintain signal. As a result, even in areas where I typically have poor coverage, I haven't noticed any bars dropping. So, the Smart Battery Case may look awkward but the signal retention is another huge win.</p>
<p>That's critically important because when a phone loses signal it boosts the radio which drains power — the exact opposite of what you want with a battery case. It's something most battery cases suffer from, though, which makes them far less efficient.</p>
<p>Here, Apple has solved for efficiency.</p>

<p>The lack of bulk around the sides is also great when you hold it. Because there's no padding to "round it out", it feels especially slim. For me, my index finger naturally falls right above the hump and the rest of it evaporates into my palm. That's considerably better than the slight stretching I feel when I hold other, more voluminous cases. Likewise, it's svelte enough that it slips into pockets without feeling bulky. So, not easy on the eyes but easy pretty much everywhere else.</p>
<p>The hinge, the antennas, the lack of bulk—none of these would be possible if Apple had gone with a more traditional design. None of that functionality would be there absent this form.</p>
<p>For some it won't matter. The hump will be a deal-breaker. They'll never be able to un-see it so they'll never buy it. For others, it'll be a non-issue. They'll frown at the hump once, then pick it up and seldom if ever think about it again.</p>

<h2>Smart Battery Case <strong>Finish</strong></h2>
<p>The Smart Battery Case has a soft-touch finish that, for iPhone 7, comes in white and black — and, as of December 2016, Product (RED). The previous generation version for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 comes in white and charcoal.</p>
<div class="media-gallery-wrap"><div class="media-gallery-flat"><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-peel-back-hero.jpg?itok=RmT0aMsO" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-peel-back-hero.jpg?itok=RmT0aMsO);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-peel-front-hero.jpg?itok=1u0Omeyv" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-peel-front-hero.jpg?itok=1u0Omeyv);"></div></div> <!--/media-gallery-flat--></div>
<p>To my eyes, the white matches the <a href="/magnetic-charging-dock-apple-watch-review">Magnetic Charging Dock for the Apple Watch</a> and the charcoal is similar to the <a href="/ipad-pro-review#keyboard">Smart Keyboard Case for iPad Pro</a>. The black is deeper and a better match for the (matte) and jet black of iPhone 7. The red, as with the rest of the Product (RED) line, is fire</p>
<p>I like the new colors best. White looks crisp and clean on both models, but the black appeals to me far more than the charcoal did. And did I already say the Product (RED) is fire?</p>
<div class="media-gallery-wrap"><div class="media-gallery-flat"><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2016/12/smart-battery-case-red-02.jpg?itok=6PO60B98" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2016/12/smart-battery-case-red-02.jpg?itok=6PO60B98);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_brw/public/field/image/2016/12/smart-battery-case-red-03.jpg?itok=b-1lgASb" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2016/12/smart-battery-case-red-03.jpg?itok=b-1lgASb);"></div></div> <!--/media-gallery-flat--></div>
<p>I'm generally not a fan of soft-touch, though. Never have been. I dislike how much lint it holds onto. Whenever I have a soft-touch phone or case I constantly find myself trying—and failing—to keep it clean. I'm likely not in the majority on that, though.</p>
<p>Since the soft-touch finish, especially combined with the shape, absolutely make the iPhone easier to hold, I think most people will appreciate it.</p>
<h2>Smart Battery Case <em>Ports and Buttons</em></h2>
<p>The cutouts on the Smart Battery Case are great. There's ample room around the rear-facing iSight camera and flash, and around the mute switch. The acoustical port for the speaker channels sound to the front of the case. Not only does it prevent audio and calls from being muffled, it projects them loud and clear.</p>
<div class="media-gallery-wrap"><div class="media-gallery-flat"><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-outside-close.jpg?itok=-XsXltnQ" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-outside-close.jpg?itok=-XsXltnQ);"></div><div data-title="" data-big="/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-inside-close.jpg?itok=sDU2RVDW" class="flat-img " style="background-image:url(/sites/imore.com/files/styles/w800h450crop/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-inside-close.jpg?itok=sDU2RVDW);"></div></div> <!--/media-gallery-flat--></div>
<p>The edges of the case rise up above the screen so you can put it face down without scratching the glass. I was worried it might interfere with bezel gestures, like swiping to go backwards or forwards in Safari, but I haven't had any trouble.</p>
<p>The passthroughs for the other buttons, including the volume rocker and sleep/wake button, are similarly well done. You have to press a little harder but unlike some other cases they're move cleanly and feel precise.</p>
<p>My one grip is with how the 3.5mm headphone jack is handled. On the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 version, the slim plug at the end of Apple's EarBuds fits into the hole at the bottom of the Smart Battery Case, no problem. Anything wider—and lots of headphone plugs are wider—and it won't fit at all. That's a problem.</p>
<p>The iPhone 7 version, of course, has no 3.5mm headphone jack and so has no need of a cutout. But it would benefit from providing one.</p>
<p>Just like the iPhone Dock connects via lightning but provides 3.5mm out, it'd be great if the Smart Battery Case plugged into Lightning to charge the phone but provided its own 3.5mm out. That feels like it would fix the problem of the cutout on the version for iPhones 6 and provide additional functionality — and accessibility! — for the version for iPhone 7.</p>

<h2>Smart Battery Case <em>Charging</em></h2>
<p>Apple has two huge home-court advantages with the Smart Battery Case. First, they get to use a fully functional Lightning passthrough—a Lightning port on the outside and plug on the inside. Second, they get full integration with iOS.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-review-hero.jpg?itok=8MoiQVxZ" width="1600" height="1200" alt="" class="image-xlarge_wm_blw aligncenter image-xlarge" /></p>
<p>Since the Smart Battery Case has a Lightning instead of a microUSB, you can charge it with the same cable you use to charge your iPhone. Moreover, since it's fully functional, you can charge both the case and the iPhone at the same time. That's one less cable you have to keep around or carry with you, and one less thing you have to remember to charge separately.</p>
<p>The charging is literally "smart" too. With the iPhone adapter, it'll charge the iPhone first then the case. With the iPad adapter, it seems to charge the iPhone and, because there's so much juice, charge the case at the same time. Either way, your iPhone gets priority, which means it'll always have the most charge possible.</p>
<p>Also, your iPhone knows when it's connected to the case rather than a plug so it's smart enough not to begin any backups or background tasks, or other processes that cause excessive drain. If you plug the case in, though, it's also smart enough to open up all those power-hungry processes.</p>
<p>Some people might want a case to enable all that activity, of course, and plenty of cases do. Apple is doing something different: solving for maximum power efficiency in the lightest possible package.</p>
<p>That's why looking at milliamp hours is ridiculous. More gas doesn't help if you consume it faster. It's why Apple branded this the <em>smart</em> battery case rather than the <em>big</em> battery case. They're literally getting more bang from less battery.</p>
<p>Thanks to the iOS integration, charge status for both the iPhone and the Smart Battery Care is prominently displayed immediately on the Lock screen when you plug it in. Charge status for both is also available at any time from Notification Center. Simply swipe down from the top.</p>
<p>Lightning bolt icons show you exactly what is being charged and when. If the case is on, you see it charging the iPhone. If the case is plugged in, you see both the case and iPhone charging. And because you can see the exact percentage for each, which is far more precise then a sequence of four LED lights, you can make a more informed decisions about exactly how much power is left and exactly how you want to spend it.</p>
<p>Other cases sometimes have independent on/off switches. That way, if you want them on your iPhone but not actively charging it, you can do that. Not so with the Smart Battery Case. If it's on, it's charging. That's a benefit. It's handling the power management so you don't have to, and in so doing, keeping the battery as healthy as possible.</p>
<p>Likewise, there's no physical button and light system to show you charge level on the case. That means you can't just pick it up by itself and see how much charge is left. You have to put it on the iPhone.</p>
<p>There is a small LED light inside the case that, when you plug it in, will glow amber when charging and green when fully charged. It can't, however, tell you the level of charge. So, you're back to having to put it on your iPhone.</p>
<p>Again, unabashed minimalism. The case simply keeps your iPhone at the best possible power level at all times, and makes sure you're unnecessarily racing through your battery's charging cycles. You put it on and use it as needed—set it and forget it. For most people, letting the case do the work just works.</p>
<h2>Smart Battery Case <em>Bottom Line</em></h2>
<p>At $99 to roughly double the charge capacity of the iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, or iPhone 6, the Smart Battery Case seems much more expensive than budget battery cases. Coming from Apple, that should surprise absolutely no one.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/xlarge_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/12/smart-battery-case-front-hero.jpg?itok=QzNxwxoW" width="1600" height="1200" alt="" class="image-xlarge_wm_blw aligncenter image-xlarge" /></p>
<p>Just like you can find cheaper phones than the iPhone, cheaper smart watches than the Apple Watch, and cheaper computers than the Mac, you can find cheaper battery cases than the Smart Battery Case. You just typically can't find them with the same level of materials, manufacturing, and integration. Those come with the Apple logo on the back.</p>
<p>Beyond that, though, Apple is doing something novel here: They're trying to get the most power from the least battery. Bigger is heavier and that comes with a cost in the hand and the pocket or bag. Apple's case is for those who need a little extra juice some of the time, but want to be weighed down and bulked up as little as possible. That's what they're solving for.</p>
<p>If you don't care about any of that, then you should absolutely buy something else. If the hump isn't a deal-breaker, though, you should get the Smart Battery Case.</p>

<h2>Pokéball battery bank</h2>

<p>One of the newest additions to the Pokémon franchise is the massively successful mobile game <a href="/search/pokemon%20go?query=pokemon%20go">Pokémon GO</a>. You may have noticed that people who play it complain about the game draining the battery on their phones very quickly. One of the solutions people have come up with is to carry around battery bank that can charge their phone from their pockets.</p>
<p>There is almost no better gift to a Pokémon GO player than a solid battery bank and this Pokéball battery bank can keep them playing for hours. It has a capacity of 10,000 mAh, which means it can charge an iPhone 7 Plus three full times. Plus, looking like a Pokéball (an item from the series) is something any true fan will appreciate.</p>

<p>Another great gift for Pokémon GO players is the Spigen Style Ring. This little ring sticks onto the back of your phone or phone case giving you a convenient way to hold onto you phone.

<p>A personal favorite of mine, this Ash Ketchum replica hat will give any diehard fan of the original Pokémon TV series something to smile about this holiday season. This trucker style cap is a replica of the one worn by the main character of the Pokémon TV series when it launched back in '97. It's an iconic hat that all Pokémon fans will instantly recognize.</p>

<p>A sure fire hit for any Pokémon fan is anything Pikachu related. This Pikachu plush toy is perfect for kids (or adults) who love to snuggle next to their favorite characters at night. Pikachu is the figure head Pokémon for the entire franchise and is pretty much universally adored by all Pokémon fans.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Small-Plush-XY-Pikachu/dp/B00GGKKXC8?tag=imoreb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUimUdUnU40326" title="" class="cta shop" rel="nofollow">See at Amazon</a></p>

<p>Pokémon Nanoblocks are cool little figurines that would look great on a Pokémon fan's desk. They are made from these little Lego-like bricks, which means you get the added fun of building your own little Pokémon. Nanoblocks offers a bunch of different Pokémon so you shouldn't have trouble finding the perfect one. Fair warning, the building instructions can be a little vague, so if you're buying for a child you may want to give the parents a heads up that they will need to help.</p>

<p>Pins are always fun to have around since you can just swap them between outfits and show your passion in a subtle way. These gym badges come in a collectors gift box, and are a great way to sport a little bit of Pokémon each day. The set includes 8 different badges, and you can pick them up for around $10 at Amazon.</p>

<p>A Pokétwist on the classic Parker Brothers board game. Pokémon Monopoly is bound to bring joy to Pokémon fans. With plenty of references to the TV series, nostalgia will be your best friend with this gift.</p>

<p>What would we do in a world without coffee mugs? A classic stocking stuffer, this Game Boy mug is bound to make Pokémon lovers rejoice.
